Genomes that mediate genetic information are a cornerstone of the activity and transmission of life itself. Mechanisms such as the replication, recombination, transcription, and translation, etc. of the abnormal genes are the cause of various diseases. Our aims include understanding the vectors of pathogenesis for illnesses such as cancer, infectious diseases, and immune diseases triggered by the accumulation of genomic abnormalities in humans and pathogens, developing vaccines and new drugs, discovering biomarkers, developing individual treatments, and contributing to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of illness.
